Ok, well, i didn't follow the whole story about it, i never had any interest
in reiserfs myself, and the echo of powerpc users with it was rather poor.

You mean this one :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=244169
The problem is maybe with the debian maintainer of this package, which has let
this RC bug open for 146 days, without ever interacting with it.

Sure, we probably need a new debian maintainer for progreiserfs, and then the
problem could be solved. I won't do this, and it may even be too late this
late in the debian release process, but one never knowes.
